FHI Platform Iron Heat Things Up - Fashiontribes Sweet Life Blog

Beauty addicts in the know will agree that the latest FHI Heat Platform iron series is rockin'. With 3 layers of ceramic coating (made with advanced tourmaline technology) and the ability to heat up to 450 degrees within mere minutes, it is one of the best irons I've used. The high quantity of crushed tourmaline gemstones results in producing more far-infrared heat, causing less damage to the hair shaft and conditions the hair from the inside out. Unless you wash your hair, the hair style will last all day, which is real nice for a change (instead of having your curls droop or frizz out).

At $165, this is a great value as far as high-end hair irons are concerned. Other lines that are $200+ aren't this powerful. To buy online or locate retailers, check out www.FHIHeat.com or call 877-FHI-HEAT.

See you at the beauty stores...

Get Pearfect Skin with Eminence! Fashiontribes Sweet Life Blog

If you haven't heard of Eminence Organic Skin Care, now's the time to check it out. A venerable skin care line from Hungary, they only make each product in small batches, without any preservatives. This is the real deal, as the shelf life is only one year or less. Plus, each organic ingredient is derived from the best sources, making it super potent and very effective. How many other skin care lines can boast that awesome quality?

I took the liberty to test out their latest offerings and the new Pear & Apple collection doesn't disappoint. The Pear & Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher totally rocks, with fine walnut and poppy seeds gently buffing your dull complexion to a positively glowing visage. The yummy pear and green apple pulp will boost your skin with antioxidants and bioflavonoids, meaning more fruity goodness for your lovely face. A small amount is enough, so don't go overboard with the product. For the sensitive types, try using less product and massage very gently.

The Pear & Green Apple Masque is very lovely, replenishing the moisture back to your dry skin (great for over-exposed summer skin). The pear and green apple purees infuse the skin layers with nourishing vitamins while active powerhouses such as Ginseng and Burdock Root act as healing agents, toning and purifying your skin.

One of my new favorites from their body care line is the Pear & Green Apple Yogurt Body Wash. Very gentle for everyday use, it doesn't contain any Sodium Lauryl Sulfates, which can really dry out and irritate the skin. Like all their products, it smells like the actual fruit is being blended into the wash. I felt like I was literally washing myself with fruit juices.

Last but not least - the Pear & Green Apple Sugar Scrub is a luxurious skin polishing treatment. The natural AHA in sugar cane gently exfoliates the entire body to perfection while pear and apple extracts drench your skin with much needed vitamins and bioflavonoids. Comfrey provides calming and antiseptic properties while Butcher's Broom firms the skin. I use this sparingly, since you don't want to waste the product. It's so moisturizing I don't even bother with a moisturizer afterwards.

Available only in exclusive spas - call 1-888-747-6342 for a listing of retailer spas or visit www.eminenceorganics.com
